Course #3 - Respiratory
October-November 2022
One in five people in England are affected by respiratory disease. Our Respiratory CPCS Clinical Training Course will enable you to reduce some of the burden on your fellow healthcare professionals.
This course will teach you how to assess patients who have a cough and other common respiratory conditions. You'll learn how to spot red flags for more serious conditions or illnesses, but also when to refer to other care providers.
80% of diagnoses are made through history-taking, so we'll give you a thorough grounding in observation and questioning skills, to assess patients with different respiratory conditions.
You’ll learn the anatomy of the respiratory system, different treatments for conditions, as well as when and how to signpost patients to other professionals.
With hospital admissions for lung disease rising at three times the rate of all admissions generally over the past seven years, respiratory diseases are a major pressure on the NHS, especially in winter.
Who are these courses for?
Our clinical training courses are for every community pharmacist in England who wants to do more to help their patients.
If you've thought, “I could do more if I knew more!” then this free course is for you.
